Eduardo, With respect, and only in my personal opinion, I disagree with you, except for your last remark. I do think it's a good sketch. I do think street artists /can/ be creative (and, yes, even great in some ways). I do agree with your implication that drawing/sketching should be more at the core of design - even engineering design! Cheers.
